Some NBA games are starting at 11:00 p.m. ET. This is a new development coinciding with the league striking a new broadcast deal with NBC, which aired Tuesday night's Nuggets–Kings game on the Peacock streaming app. I'm an adaptable person who generally accepts change cheerfully, but trying to watch last night's game made me feel like several media executives were spitting directly into my face.

I know NBA games never start at the advertised time, but it was still annoying to turn on the broadcast a few minutes before 11:00 p.m. and see a big "Countdown To Tipoff" graphic on the screen with 20 minutes on it. That's fine. I can read a book for a little bit.

I've added the NetNewsWire blog to my blogroll.

The big news is that there are now docs for source:markdown. The goal is to have a writer-friendly standard for text on the net that's as useful as the one for audio was. We've never had that for RSS. As with everything in RSS-land, cooperation among the different vendors was never its strong point. I hope to change that, and plan to build a network for written text as open and powerful as the one that developed for podcasting.
